Youthful Tools and Parental Guilt

Every time I use themI'm reminded of my youth!I don't remember glitter crayons though,back when I was little.

I'm sad to sayI could not always afford crayons, the Crayola brandas an adult,for my kids 'in classroom school supplies'so I bought RoseArt!they were always so much cheaper (cost)and my daughter reminds me to this day

that she hated using RoseArt instead of havinggood quality Crayola crayons.

I must confessI feel very sad & bad about that choice back then.

I should maybe have splurged a little!?

But

I was a struggling single Mum back then

those were the days when Enron corrupt trading practices influenced power costs which spiked my electric bill so high(in So. California)that I had to make seriously tough choiceswhen it came to household spending!

Shelter, food and transportation costs won out…crayons were not a necessityin my perspective.

Presently, I occasionally mail a box of crayola's to my kids accompanied with a coloring book!

Yes, my kids are adults nowBUTI don't think we ever out growtaking the time to just sitand colourwithcrayons!
